Sidus (Corinthia)
Sidus or Sidous (Ancient Greek: Σιδοῦς) was a village in ancient Corinthia known primarily for its strategic location and role in regional conflicts.
History
During the Corinthian War (392 BC), Sidus was seized by the Lacedaemonians (Spartans), along with the nearby town of Crommyon. However, it was later recaptured by the Athenian general Iphicrates.
Location
The site of the ancient settlement of Sidus is believed to be located near the modern-day village of Sousaki in the regional unit of Corinthia, Peloponnese, Greece.
Economy
Like much of ancient Corinthia, its economy was likely tied to agriculture and trade, leveraging its access to both the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs.
